Visiting friends with a villa in the area they booked us in having given the place the 'once over' prior to our arrival. How glad we were that they did. It proved to be a highlight of our trip and lit up a weekend when we had rain, hail, cold winds, thunder and lightning and even some sunshine. Not an... More

We were taken to this restuarant by friends we were staying with who live in Portugal. Whilst they had heard of the restuarant previously they had only visited it for the first time the week before we arrived but were so impressed that they immediately booked to take us there. The whole evening was a fantastic experience from the setting... More

After a wrong turn or two up the hillside we found Le Marquis nestled in a small village which is apparently all owned by a British woman (unusual but interesting). We were early for dinner but turned out to be one of only two tables occupied all night on a Wednesday during low season and received some the best service... More

If like me you have searched the Algarve for a decent Vegetarian meal then look no more. I have never been disappointed at Le Marquis. Imaginative combination of ingredients and beautifully presented. If you tell Vincent you are a Veggie when you book I am sure you won't be disappointed. More

Excellent food, delightful atmosphere, and a very friendly reception. A real gem. More

The menu was a 6 course Table D'hote selection, the highlights for me were the amazing home smoked salmon and... More

With hand picked wines and fresh food bought every morning. It is fantastic and I crave the... More

We found this place actually on Tripadvisor and decided on our last night to go there. Well I have to say this was one of those expereinces that will remain unforgettable. The location was remote with an excellent hilltop view outside of touristy Faro. The food, service and atmosphere were first class as was the value for money. More
